Nigeria’s Super Falcons are eyeing a record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) crown, forward Rasheedat Ajibade has affirmed. Nigeria, drawn in Group B alongside Algeria, Tunisia, and Botswana for the July 2025 tournament in Morocco, are determined to reclaim continental dominance.
Ajibade nicknamed “Rash” scored twice during the qualifying rounds and delivered a stellar performance against Cameroon in 2022’s edition, earning Player of the Match and declaring: “We know what we came here for, we want to leave with the cup, our decima”.
As the only African side to win nine previous editions, the Super Falcons are being primed by national coach and supported by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). Preparations include scheduled Grade A friendly matches in key FIFA windows, with confidence running high among players and officials alike.

We are inspired by Ajibade’s conviction. Her rallying cry for a 10th title reflects not only personal determination but the collective hunger of a nation. With history and prestige at stake, the Falcons are united by purpose.
We also recognise the significance of facing stiff competition in Group B. Tunisia, Algeria, Botswana—they may not carry Nigeria’s pedigree, but they offer tests that will sharpen resilience and tactical readiness. Preparation through high-level friendlies demonstrates strategic foresight from the NFF.
We see the rise of emerging talents—like Gift Monday, Edna Imade and Tosin Demehin as evidence of generational renewal. This blend of experience and youth could define Nigeria’s push for greatness across the tournament.
We believe the Falcons’ path is clear: through belief, preparation, and unity, they can reclaim the crown. For Nigeria, the journey to a record 10th WAFCON title is more than ambition it’s legacy. And so our conviction stands: this team will fight, this team will rise, and this team will lay claim to decima.
